QUERAUSSTEIGER André Hennen Wie macht man, worauf man eigentlich schon immer (mehr) Lust hatte? Wie gründet man ein Café, schreibt einen Bestseller oder lernt nochmal einen neuen Beruf? Hier sprechen Menschen, die genau das getan haben. André Hennen möchte wissen, warum sie das gemacht haben - und was wir von ihnen lernen können. Niemand arbeitet heute bis zur Rente in einem Job. Generation Y-Z, New Work und Selbstverwirklichung sind die großen Themen unserer Arbeitswelt. Alles scheint möglich – und gleichzeitig zeigen Studien, dass 85%(!) der Arbeitnehmer in ihrem Job unmotiviert Dienst nach Vorschrift machen. Warum ändern so wenige etwas?Unsere Gäste beweisen das Gegenteil: Es kommen Künstler, die Manager wurden, Anwälte, die zu Künstlern wurden; Designer zu Café-Besitzern; Werber zu Bestseller-Autoren, Strategen zu Gründern, AuPairs zu Kinderbuch-Autoren, Landschaftsgärter zu Werbeagenturchefs, Texter zu Architekten, Anwälte zu Meditationslehrern und das sind nur die ersten Folgen :) Moderiert wird das Gan Wired to Create- Book review Kavitha Bade This is part 1 of a series of book reviews.
